1990 300E Shifting problem

Hi,

I just joined MercedesShop.com. I have a 1990 300E.

Mine is real clean and I am just getting to understand her...first MB for me.

The one thing that has left me baffled is when accelerating, a bit hard, at 60 mph it shifts with a BANG, sounds like a hammer! then she FLYS! I believe its a downshift.

I heard there is a linkage from the throttle to trans that needs adjustment. Can anyone please shed some light on this one.

When I got this car I changed all fluids and filters, (trans too) oil pressure sending unit and more.

Thanks in advance,

Michael (ninety300E)
